Makeup of The Day: Rimmel Magnif’Eyes Eye Contouring Palette

You would have seen the new release Rimmel Magnif’Eyes Eye Contouring Palette* popping up everywhere. At this stage there are two palettes, one containing browns and nudes (Keep Calm and Wear Gold) and the other palette containing more purple and blues (Grunge Glamour) for a smokey eye look. Each palette retails for $19.95 and contains 8 shades with a mixture of shimmers and mattes. Personally I love that it has everything you need to create a beautiful eye look.

Today I wanted to share a simple eye look I created using just the Rimmel Magnif’Eyes Eye Contouring Palette* in Keep Calm and Wear Gold.

To start off I used the second shade from the left, a light matte mauve and applied to my socket and just above using a MAC 217.

I then went in with a darker matte shade, the third from the right and applied directly into the socket and blended out. I also applied a bit to my lower lash line for added definition. Personally, I found that the matte shades weren’t that pigmented and I needed a lot of product to build it up.

For the inner eye lid, I applied the light gold shade which is fourth from the left. And then for the middle to end part of my eye I used the next shade, fifth from the left. To intensify the outer corner I went back to the matte shade, third from the right.

To add a little sparkle to my inner tear duct I use the really light gold shade, third from the left.

Overall, I love the shade selection, you have everything you need to create a simple or intense eye look. Personally, I found the shimmery shades really pigmented but the matte shades were disappointing. Have you tried it, what’s your thoughts?

I love this look! I totally agree with you, the matte shades were a little disappointing, I found most of the lighter shades really hard to use in mine, but the shimmery ones were definitely more pigmented. I’m still undecided about this palette! xx

Love the look you created Rachel ♥ I have the gold one and also find the lighter mattes take a bit of effort to make an impact, although that one second left is a perfect match for my skintone and comes in handy for mattifying various bits lol. The pigmentation of the dark matte is a lot better, and the shimmers are all stunners. I’m thrilled to have been gifted this at the BUA event ♥
